Meet Captain Jeff
Captain Jeff has spent his whole life chasing adventure, hunting and fishing all over the world. He’s also appeared on the Pursuit Channel, taking veterans on memorable outdoor trips, and spent a few years with Pittsburgh’s local ROOT Sports creating hunting and fishing segments. A retired engineer and splicing technician, Jeff spent more than 25 years with Verizon before trading wires for the water and finally pursuing his long-time dream of running fishing charters. A big supporter of veterans and first responders, he simply loves sharing the outdoors with others—and he’s always excited to get people of all ages hooked on the joy of fishing.
On weekends, April often joins Jeff as first mate. If it’s your first time fishing—or if you have a group of women who are new to the sport and would feel more comfortable with another woman on board—book a weekend trip! April is happy to help bait your hook, cast your line, and show you that women fish too.
Jeff & April
Captain and First Mate
Jeff and April both grew up in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, but fell in love with Florida’s Gulf Coast so they made their way to the area to start a fishing charter company and share their love of being on the water. Jeff has fished and hunted all around the world—from South Africa to Canada to La Paz, Mexico.
Wanting to honor their roots,they named their business after Pittsburgh’s iconic 412 area code. With kids of their own and a big heart for veterans, they’re excited to welcome all kinds of groups aboard for a fun, memorable day out on the water.
